Tab Targeting (Cycle)

This is a tab targeting trigger set. This tab targeting cycle operates like WoW targeting system (cycling through available targets with the tab key).

Terraining

Region: Targeting

You'll need to create a Region (Targeting Region). Then attach this Targeting Region to your Unit. I used a circular region with radius 12.

Triggers

Variables (Mine are in a record called Engine: Target).

You'll need 1 Unit variable, and 3 Unit Group variables.

TARGET Target = No Unit <Unit>

 TARGETING (Unit Groups)
        Potential Targets = (Empty unit group) <Unit Group>
        Cycled Targets = (Empty unit group) <Unit Group>
        Current Targets = (Empty unit group) <Unit Group>

Triggers

ENGINE: Tab-Key (Down) Target
    Events
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Variable - Set ENGINE: Target (Record).Target = (Closest unit to (Position of ENGINE: Hero (Record).Hero) in ENGINE: Target (Record).Current Targets)
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (ENGINE: Target (Record).Target is visible to player 1) != True
            Then
                Unit Group - Add ENGINE: Target (Record).Target to ENGINE: Target (Record).Cycled Targets
                Variable - Set ENGINE: Target (Record).Target = No Unit
                Trigger - Run ENGINE: Tab-Key (Down) Cycle  (Ignore Conditions, Don't Wait until it finishes)
            Else
                Unit - Add 1 [ENGINE] Target to ENGINE: Target (Record).Target from player 1
                Trigger - Run ENGINE: Target (Update)  (Ignore Conditions, Don't Wait until it finishes)

ENGINE: Tab-Key (Down) Target
    Events
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Variable - Set ENGINE: Target (Record).Target = (Closest unit to (Position of ENGINE: Hero (Record).Hero) in ENGINE: Target (Record).Current Targets)
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (ENGINE: Target (Record).Target is visible to player 1) != True
            Then
                Unit Group - Add ENGINE: Target (Record).Target to ENGINE: Target (Record).Cycled Targets
                Variable - Set ENGINE: Target (Record).Target = No Unit
                Trigger - Run ENGINE: Tab-Key (Down) Cycle  (Ignore Conditions, Don't Wait until it finishes)
            Else
                Unit - Add 1 [ENGINE] Target to ENGINE: Target (Record).Target from player 1
                Trigger - Run ENGINE: Target (Update)  (Ignore Conditions, Don't Wait until it finishes)

Note

Unit - Add 1 [ENGINE] Target to ENGINE: Target (Record).Target from player 1

This line applies a Behavior "Target" to the target unit. I use the Behavior to create an Actor at the target Unit. The Actor and Model are the red targeting reticle [Art: Model Briefing Unit Select (Red, Medium)]
